Abstract
Botryosphaeriales species are important pathogens that have worldwide distribution.
In this study, 23 Botryosphaeriales strains were isolated from 13 host species during
a dieback disease survey in Beijing, China. Based on morphological and phylogenet-
ic analyses, six Botryosphaeriales species were identified, including two new species
named Dothiorella hortiarborum sp. nov. and Phaeobotryon fraxini sp. nov., and four new
host records: Aplosporella ginkgonis from Cotinus coggygria var. cinereus, A. javeedii
from Acer miyabei, Acer truncatum, Forsythia suspensa, Lagerstroemia indica, Sambucus
williamsii, Syringa vulgaris, Ulmus pumila, Xanthoceras sorbifolium, A. yangingensis from
Acer truncatum, and Do. acericola from Forsythia suspensa, Ginkgo biloba, and Syringa
oblata. This study enriches the species diversity associated with tree dieback in Beijing,
China, and contributes to the further study of the taxonomy of this order.

Introduction
Botryosphaeriales species are important plant pathogens commonly found
on the trunks and branches of woody plants (Phillips et al. 2013; Lawrence et
al. 2017; Zhu et al. 2018; Zhang et al. 2021). They are associated with branch
canker, dieback, decline, and death, with consequences for the ecological and
economic value of the forest (Slippers and Wingfield 2007; Phillips et al. 2013;
Mohali-Castillo 2023). Botryosphaeriales species occur on a wide range of
hosts, in the form of endophytes on woody plants and herbs, lichens, and even
seaweed leaves in marine environments, suggesting that they have great po-
tential for research value (Yang et al. 2017; Akinsanmi et al. 2019; Zhang et al.
2021; Mohali-Castillo 2023; Rathnayaka et al. 2023).
Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data have an enormous influence
on the systematics and taxonomy of the order Botryosphaeriales, including re-
defining families and genera and identifying new species (Phillips et al. 2019;
Mohali-Castillo 2023). Schoch et al. (2006) combined SSU, LSU, tef7-a, and
rpb2 to first propose the order Botryosphaeriales, which contains only a sin-
gle family of Botryosphaeriaceae. Minnis et al. (2012) supplemented the DNA
sequence data of Planistromellaceae with phylogenetic analyses combining
225

SSU, ITS, LSU, and rpb7, which introduced the family into the Botryosphaeri-
ales. Wikee et al. (2013) reintroduced the Phyllostictaceae, grouped under
Botryosphaeriales, to accommodate Phyllosticta using intronic genes (ITS, act,
and tefl-a) and highly conserved coding regions of genes (LSU and GPDH).
Slippers et al. (2013) added three new families, Aplosporellaceae (Aplosporella
and Bagnisiella), Melanopsaceae (Melanops), and Saccharataceae (Sacchara-
ta), to Botryosphaeriales based on DNA sequence data of six loci (SSU, LSU,
ITS, tef1-a, tub2, and mtSSU). Wyka and Broders (2016) introduced Septori-
oideaceae based on morphological and molecular evidence. Yang et al. (2017)
mentioned that the LSU-rpb2 combination could effectively classify taxa at
the family and genus levels, and rpb2 in combination with ITS, tef7-a, and tub2
added additional resolution for species delimitation. For this reason, they com-
bined the five fragments ITS, tef1-a, tub2, LSU, and rpb2 to propose two new
families, Endomelanconiopsisaceae and Pseudofusicoccumaceae. Therefore,
Botryosphaeriales contained a total of nine families. However, Phillips et al.
(2019) reassessed the families of Botryosphaeriales in terms of morphology
of the sexual morphs and phylogenetic relationships of ITS and LSU sequence
data, ultimately concluding that the order contained only six families (Aplospo-
rellaceae, Botryosphaeriaceae, Melanopsaceae, Phyllostictaceae, Planistro-
mellaceae, and Saccharataceae), with Endomelanconiopsisaceae, Pseudofu-
sicoccumaceae, and Septorioideaceae as synonyms of existing families. Up
to date, six families and 32 genera are accepted in Botryosphaeriales (https://
www.outlineoffungi.org/). Of these, Botryosphaeriaceae is rich in species diver-
sity, high in pathogenicity, and widely distributed.
Botryosphaeriaceae was first established by Theissen and Sydow (1918),
containing three genera: Botryosphaeria, Dibotryon, and Phaeobotryon. Mor-
phologically, Botryosphaericeae species are distinctive from other families
in Botryosphaeriales by their large, ovoid to oblong, usually hyaline, aseptate
ascospores (Phillips et al. 2013). Liu et al. (2012) assumed that ascospores
could become pigmented and septate with age. Conidia in the asexual state of
Botryosphaericeae are diverse in morphological characteristics (Phillips et al.
2005). Phylogenetically, however, there is a random distribution of hyaline or
colored conidia or ascospores in the phylogenetic tree of Botryosphaericeae
(Slippers et al. 2013). Therefore, accurate identification of species in the family
by a single circumscription is not suitable. Currently, 22 genera and more than
200 species are contained within the family (https://www.outlineoffungi.org/).
Recently, many new species have been introduced in the Botryosphaeriaceae,
especially in the genera Dothiorella and Phaeobotryon (Jia et al. 2023; Li et al.
2023; Lin et al. 2023a; Wu et al. 2023).
Saccardo (1880) first established Dothiorella and designated Do. pyrenophora
as the type species. Up to now, some scholars have made systematic revisions
of Dothiorella to establish a more stable phylogenetic relationship (Dissanayake
et al. 2016; Dissanayake et al. 2020; Zhang et al. 2021). The distinctive features
of the genera are that the conidia are colored in the early stages of development,
and with 1-septate, the sexual form of ascospores is brown and septate (Sena-
nayake et al. 2023). The type species of the genus Phaeobotryon is P. cercidis,
which is characterized by 2-septate brown ascospores with conical apiculate-el-
liptic to oblong or obovoid shapes at both ends and hyaline or brown conidia
(Phillips et al. 2013; Fan et al. 2015b; Zhu et al. 2018; Pan et al. 2019).

Yingying Wu et al.: New species and records of Botryosphaeriales
In recent years, multiple studies have revealed that new species of Botryos-
phaeriales infest branches and trunks. Pan et al. (2019) found that Phaeobo-
tryon rhois and Diplodia quercicola were detrimental to Rhus typhina and Quer-
cus variabilis separately in Yudu Mountain, Beijing. Aplosporella yangingensis
and Dothiorella baihuashan are mainly recorded on Pinaceae or Cupressaceae
(Lin et al. 2023a). Lasiodiplodia regiae caused the canker and dieback of ap-
ple trees (Wang et al. 2023). These studies suggest that Botryosphaeriales is
rich in species diversity and has the potential to continue to be explored for
new species. During the investigation of plant pathogens in Beijing, a higher
number of diseased plant branches caused by Botryosphaeriales fungi were
found. This study used phylogenetic analysis and morphological comparisons
to describe new species and new host records, enriching the fungal taxa with-
in Botryosphaeriales.
Materials and method
Sample collection and fungal isolation
A survey on dieback diseases was conducted from March to November 2023
in the Tongzhou District of Beijing, China. A total of thirteen tree species were
examined, namely Acer miyabei, A. truncatum, Cotinus coggygria var. cinere-
us, Forsythia suspensa, Fraxinus chinensis, Ginkgo biloba, Lagerstroemia indica,
Sambucus williamsii, Styphnolobium japonicum, Syringa oblata, Syringa vulgaris,
Ulmus pumila, and Xanthoceras sorbifolium. Twenty specimens showing typical
dieback symptoms (Fig. 1) with typical conidiomata and/or ascomata were col-
lected. All samples were placed in paper bags and transported to the laboratory.
Specimens with typical conidiomata pycnidial were selected for isolation. Re-
moving the spore mass from conidiomata and generating single spore colonies
or plating superficially sterilized diseased tissue on potato dextrose agar plates
(PDA; containing 200 g potatoes, 20 g dextrose, and 20 g agar per liter) and in-
cubating Petri dishes at 25 °C in the dark for 2-3 d. When colonies just formed,
they transferred to fresh PDA Petri dishes (Crous et al. 2019). All specimens
were deposited at the Museum of Beijing Forestry University (BUFC), and all
cultures were preserved at the China Forestry Culture Collection Center (CFCC).
Morphological observation
Cultures were incubated on PDA at 25 °C in a 12-h day/night regime (Crous et
al. 2019). After 14 days, the colonies were measured, and characteristics based
on the color, shape, and sparseness of the aerial mycelium of the pathogen
colonies were observed and recorded. Conidiomata were manually sectioned
with a double-edged razor blade. Observations were conducted using a Leica
DM 2,500 dissecting microscope (Wetzlar, Germany) and a Nikon Eclipse 80i
compound microscope, equipped with differential interference contrast (DIC)
illumination. Images were captured using a Nis DS-Ri2 camera with the Nikon
Nis-Elements F4.30.01 software. Conidial length was measured from the base
of the basal cell to the base of the apical appendage, while conidial width was
measured at its widest point. A randomized selection of conidia was used for
measurement (n = 50).

DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and sequencing
Genetic DNA was extracted using the cetyltrime-thylammonium bromide
(CTAB) method when the mycelium was well spread on the PDA. DNA sam-
ples were stored at -20 °C. The PCR reaction primers (forward and reverse)
and amplification conditions are detailed in Table 1. Polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) amplification was run on a PTC-200 Thermal Cycler amplifier from Bio-
Rad, USA. The PCR amplification systems were all 20 uL, including 10 uL of Mix
(Promega), 7 UL of double deionized water, 1 pL each of pre- and post-primers,
and 1 uL of DNA template. PCR products were assayed by electrophoresis on
2% agarose gels. Amplified PCR products were sent to a commercial sequenc-
ing provider (Tsingke Biotechnology Co. Ltd., Beijing, China).

Phylogenetic analyses
The sequences obtained were assembled using SeqMan v. 7.1.0 software,
and reference sequences from related publications (Phillips et al. 2019; Li
et al. 2023; Lin et al. 2023a; Wu et al. 2023) were retrieved from the National
Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI; https://www.ncbi.nIm.nih.gov).
All sequences generated in this study were submitted to GenBank (Table 2).
Sequences were aligned in MAFFT v. 7 at the web server (https://mafft.cbre.
jp/alignment/server/) (Katoh and Standley 2013; Katoh et al. 2019) and further
adjustments and editing of the sequences were made with MEGA v. 6 (Tamura
et al. 2013). Maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayes-
ian inference (BI) were selected to construct phylogenetic trees using PAUP
v. 4.0610, PhyML 3.0, and MrBayes V3.1.2 (Huelsenbeck and Ronquist 2001;
Swofford 2003; Silvestro and Michalak 2012). Phylograms were visualized with
FigTree v. 1.4.0 (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/) and additional ed-
ited with Adobe Illustrator CS v. 5 (Adobe Systems Inc., USA). Maximum-par-
simony bootstrap values (MPBP) and maximum-likelihood bootstrap values
(MLBP) = 50% and Bayesian posterior probabilities (BYPP) = 0.90 are shown
for each tree.
Maximum parsimony analysis was performed using the tree bisection and
reconnection (TBR) branch swapping algorithm with a heuristic search op-
tion of 1000 random-addition sequences (Swofford 2003). Max trees were
set to 5000 branches of zero length, and all parsimonious trees were saved.
Other measures calculated were tree length (TL), consistency index (Cl),
retention index (RI), and rescaled consistency (RC) (Swofford 2003). Maxi-
mum likelihood analysis was performed with the GTR GAMMA model of site
substitution, including estimation of gamma-distributed rate heterogeneity
and a proportion of invariant sites (Guindon et al. 2010). The branch support
from MP and ML analysis was evaluated with a bootstrapping (BS) method
of 1 000 replicates (Hillis and Bull 1993). The Bayesian inference analysis
employing a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm was performed
with Bayesian posterior probabilities (Rannala and Yang 1996). The mod-
el of nucleotide substitution was estimated by MrModeltest v.2.3 (Posada
and Crandall 1998), and a weighted Bayesian analysis was considered. Two
MCMC chains were run starting from random trees for 1,000,000 genera-
tions and stopped when the average standard deviation of split frequencies
fell below 0.01; the trees were sampled every 100" generation. The first
25% of trees were discarded as the burn-in phase of each analysis, and the
Bayesian posterior probabilities (BPP) were calculated using the remaining
7,500 trees.

Yingying Wu et al.: New species and records of Botryosphaeriales
Result
Phylogenetic analysis
The BLAST results indicated that the 23 isolates resided in Ap/osporella, Do-
thiorella, and Phaeobotryon (14 for Aplosporella, 7 for Dothiorella, and 2 for
Phaeobotryon). Separate phylogenetic trees for each of the three genera were
constructed in this study.
In Aplosporella, the combined ITS and tef1-a dataset consists of 944 charac-
ters, including alignment gaps (508 for ITS and 436 for tef1-a), of which 794 are
constant and 60 are variable parsimony uninformative characters. MP analysis
with the remaining 90 parsimony-informative characters resulted in one equal-
ly parsimonious tree: tree length (TL) = 230; consistency index (Cl) = 0.817;
retention index (RI) = 0.896; and rescaled consistency index (RC) = 0.732. In
ML analysis based on the combined gene dataset, the matrix had 193 distinct
alignment patterns. Estimated base frequencies are as follows: A = 0.217607,
C = 0.264598, G = 0.259539, T = 0.258256, AC = 2.784746, AG = 2.845183, AT
= 1.353935, CG = 1.848853, CT = 4.935430, GT = 1.000000, gamma distribu-
tion shape parameter: a = 0.157110, and likelihood value of In: -2 499.855852.
The maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian methods (BI) for phylogenetic
analyses have the same topology and terminal clades. Fourteen isolates were
distributed in Aplosporella, aggregated with three known species, A. javeedii,
A. yangingensis, and A. ginkgonis, separately (Fig. 2). The single gene tree for
ITS and tef1-a of Aplosporella is shown in Suppl. material 1.
In Dothiorella, sequences of the combined ITS, tef1-a, and tub2 were aligned; the
dataset consists of 1,319 characters, including alignment gaps (534 for ITS, 369
for tef1-a, and 416 for tub2), of which 905 are constant and 107 are variable par-
simony uninformative characters. MP analysis with the remaining 307 parsimo-
ny-informative characters resulted in one equally parsimonious tree: tree length
(TL) = 1,282; consistency index (Cl) = 0.477; retention index (RI) = 0.824; and
rescaled consistency index (RC) = 0.394. In ML analysis based on the combined
gene dataset, the matrix had 601 distinct alignment patterns. Estimated base fre-
quencies are as follows: A = 0.206208, C = 0.312741, G = 0.250328, T = 0.230723,
AC = 0.833804, AG = 2.174710, AT = 1.041501, CG = 0.791470, CT = 3.735830,
GT = 1.000000, gamma distribution shape parameter: a = 0.215045, and likeli-
hood value of In: -8 567.497788. Three of the seven isolates were of the known
species Dothiorella acericola, and the other four isolates formed a separate clade
for designation as new species based on phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 3). The sin-
gle gene tree for ITS, tef7-a, and tub2 of Dothiorella is shown in Suppl. material 2.
In Phaeobotryon, the combined ITS, LSU, and tef7-a dataset consists of 1,394
characters, including alignment gaps (494 for ITS, 333 for LSU, and 567 for
tef1-a), of which 1,218 are constant and 56 are variable parsimony uninforma-
tive characters. MP analysis with the remaining 120 parsimony-informative
characters resulted in one equally parsimonious tree: tree length (TL) = 259;
consistency index (Cl) = 0.799; retention index (RI) = 0.913; and rescaled con-
sistency index (RC) = 0.730. In ML analysis based on the combined gene data-
set, the matrix had 239 distinct alignment patterns. Estimated base frequen-
cies are as follows: A = 0.224820, C = 0.266099, G = 0.277247, T = 0.231833, AC
= 0.602998, AG = 2.181745, AT = 0.500445, CG = 0.607508, CT = 4.549533, GT
= 1.000000, gamma distribution shape parameter: a = 0.020014, and likelihood

spread on host plants of more than 10 families (Fan et al. 2015a; Zhu et al.
2018; Pan et al. 2019; Lin et al. 2023a). In this study, we report new host records
for this species, including Acer miyabei, Acer truncatum, Forsythia suspensa,

Xanthoceras sorbifolium.
Aplosporella yangingensis L. Lin & X.L. Fan, MycoKeys 97: 9 (2023)
Description. See Lin et al. 2023a.
Material examined. CHINA, Beijing City, Tongzhou District, Central Green
Forest Park, 39°52'16"N, 116°42'04"E, on the dead branches of Acer trun-
catum, 12 April 2023, C.M. Tian, Y.M. Liang, C. Peng, Y. Hu & Y.Y. Wu,
BJFC-S1943, living culture CFCC 70743; ibid. BUFC-S1944, living culture
CFCC 70738.
Notes. Aplosporella yangingensis was first discovered on the branches of
Platycladus orientalis in Beijing (Lin et al. 2023a). In this study, the two iso-
lates (CFCC 70738 and CFCC 70743) from Acer truncatum formed a clade
with 100% MP, 100% ML, and 1.00 BYPP values in the multi-locus phyloge-
netic tree with A. yangingensis (Fig. 2). Compared with the description of Lin
et al. (2023a), this study has shorter conidia and thinner conidiogenous cells
(11.0-16.5 x 6.0-9.0 um vs. 16.0-21.5 x 6.0-9.5 um and 5.0-20.5 x 1.0-
2.0 um vs. 6.0-13.5 x 2.0-3.0 um). Thus, these isolates were identified as
A. yangingensis, and herewith we are providing a new host record for A. yan-
gingensis, Acer truncatum.

Y.Y. Wu, BUFC-S1949, living culture CFCC 70760; ibid. on the dead branches of
Syringa oblata, BJFC-S1950, living culture CFCC 70761.
Notes. Based on phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 3), three isolates in this study
clustered with Dothiorella acericola and formed a clade with 99% MP, 100% ML,
and 1.00 BYPP values. Dothiorella acericola is reported to be associated with
the canker disease of Acer palmatum in China (Phookamsak et al. 2019). Pan
et al. (2021, 2023) found that Do. acericola infests Ziziphus jujuba and Koelreu-
teria paniculata branches. The fungus was also recorded on dead branches of
Euonymus japonicus (Lin et al. 2023b). This is the first discovery of this fungus
in the host families Oleaceae and Ginkgoaceae.

Notes. Dothiorella hortiarborum formed an independent clade with 87% MP
97% ML, and 0.99 BYPP values and is distinct from Do. acericola and Do. pluriv-
ora in the multi-locus analyses (Fig. 3). Morphologically, Do. hortiarborum can be
distinguished from Do. acericola by shorter conidia (Phookamsak et al. 2019) and
Do. plurivora by smaller conidia (10.0-19.0 x 6.0-11.0 um vs. 22.3-22.7 x 10.8-
11.2 um) (Abdollahzadeh et al. 2014). Additionally, Do. hortiarborum differs from
Do. acericola in tef1-a (five bp difference from 170 characters, with 97.1% simi-
larity, including no gaps) sequences, and Do. plurivora in tef1-a (one bp difference
from 254 characters, with 99.6% similarity, including one gap), tub2 (three bp dif-
ference from 370 characters, with 99.2% similarity, including one gap) sequences.

Notes. Based on multi-locus phylogenetic analysis, the two isolates cluster
separately in a high-supported clade with 100% MP, 100% ML, and 1.00 BYPP
value (Fig. 4). In the phylogenetic analysis, Phaeobotryon fraxini showed a close
relationship to P mali and P. rhois. These three species could be distinguished
based on ITS, tef1-a, and LSU loci from P. mali by nineteen bp (6/465 in ITS;
10/184 in tef1-a; 3/559 in LSU) and P. rhois by twenty-two bp (7/465 in ITS;
12/184 in tef1-a; 3/559 in LSU). Moreover, P. fraxini differs from P mali and
P. rhois in having smaller conidia (13.0-20.0 x 7.0-10.0 um vs. 22.0-31.5 x
12-16.5 um for P mali and 20-25 x 10-12 um for P rhois) (Fan et al. 2015b;
Jia et al. 2023) (Table 3). Therefore, P. fraxini is introduced as a novel species.

Discussion
In this paper, 23 Botryosphaeriales isolates were identified as six species
based on multi-locus phylogenetic analyses. These species included two new
species, namely Dothiorella hortiarborum and Phaeobotryon fraxini, and four
new hosts: Aplosporella ginkgonis on Cotinus coggygria var. cinereus; A. javee-
dii on Acer miyabei; Acer truncatum; Forsythia suspensa; Lagerstroemia indica;
Sambucus williamsii, Syringa vulgaris; Ulmus pumila; Xanthoceras sorbifolium;
A. yangingensis on Acer truncatum; and Do. acericola on Forsythia suspensa;
Ginkgo biloba; and Syringa oblata. The six fungal species identified in this study
involve a total of 13 different hosts, which elucidates the wide range of hosts
of Botryospaeriales.
Aplosporella is the type genus of Aplosporellaceae (Slippers et al. 2013).
The distinctive morphological feature of Aplosporella species is that both as-
cospores and conidia are aseptately hyaline to pigmented (Slippers et al. 2013;
Phillips et al. 2019). In this study, a total of three new host record species of the
genus were identified, including A. ginkgonis, A. javeedii, and A. yangingensis.
Aplosporella javeedii has the highest isolation rate and the widest host range,
involving five orders of host plants, including Dipsacales, Fabales, Lamiales,
Myrtales, and Rosales. Currently, this species is mainly found in warm temper-
ate and tropical regions (Fan et al. 2015a; Zhu et al. 2018), and further explo-
ration is needed to determine whether the geographic range of A. javeedii is
related to climate.
Dothiorella was considered a synonym of Diplodia based on a broad mor-
phological concept (Crous and Palm 1999). Phillips et al. (2005) compared the
morphological characteristics again and found that the conidia of Dothiorella
were brown, with 1-septate in early development, and the conidia still adhered
to the conidiogenous cells. In contrast, the conidia of Diplodia become black
and septate after being excreted from the conidiomata. Crous et al. (2006) con-
firmed these morphological differences. Therefore, Dothiorella is regarded as
an independent genus in the Botryosphaeriaceae. In this study, the conidia of
Do. hortiarborum are transparent and aseptate when attached to conidioge-
nous cells. After being released by the conidiomata, the conidia bear yellowish
pigment or become brown with a 1-septate. In recent years, many new species
of Dothiorella have been published with conidial morphology similar to Do. hor-
tiarborum (Li et al. 2023; Lin et al. 2023a; Wu et al. 2023). These suggest that
the morphological characteristics of Dothiorella are not always stable. Thus,
it is not accurate to rely solely on the morphology of conidia for Dothiorella;
combining phylogenetic analysis and the size of conidia of neighboring spe-
cies is necessary. Dothiorella species have been reported on more than 20 host
plants in China (https://fungi.ars.usda.gov/). This study has expanded its host
range in Oleaceae plants (Do. acericola in Forsythia suspensa, Ginkgo biloba
and S. oblata, and Do. hortiarborum in Fraxinus chinensis).
Currently, many Dothiorella species have been recorded from Fraxinus, distrib-
uted mainly in regions such as Europe and North America (Table 4). In this study, a
new species, Do. hortiarborum, from F. chinensis, was introduced in China. Howev-
er, based on morphological and DNA sequence data, Do. hortiarborum shows sig-
nificant differences from other species in Fraxinus. Phylogenetic analysis showed
that Do. hortiarborum belongs to a different lineage from Do. omnivora, Do. sp.,

and Do. vidmadera (Fig. 3), while distinguishing them based on the size of conidia
and the number of septates (Table 4). Do. concaviuscula, Do. fraxini, and Do. frax-
inicola were not available for sequence information due to their earlier publication;
however, Do. hortiarborum can also be easily distinguished from them based on
their documented conidia size. In addition, Do. lagerstroemiae and Do. hortiarbo-
rum were both isolated from Lagersiroemia alba, but its conidia were significantly
smaller than Do. hortiarborum (8.3-10 x 3.5—4 um vs. 10.0-19.0 x 6.0-11.0 um).
Phaeobotryon species have more overlapping morphological characters,
with 1(—2) septate or aseptate conidia and similar pigmentation variations. For
example, P cupressi and P juniperi have overlapping sizes of conidia (24.1-
25 x 12.2-12.5 um vs. 24.5-27.5 x 12.0-13.5 pm), P rhoinum and P rhois are
derived from the same host and geographic origin, and the conidia have 1-sep-
tate (Table 3). So, morphology combined with phylogenetics to further clarify
the affinities between species is essential. Furthermore, Phaeobotryon species
were reported on a variety of hosts and considered to be potential or oppor-
tunistic pathogens (Weiland et al. 2016; Zhu et al. 2020; Ilyukhin and Ellouze
2023; Jia et al. 2023). In this study, P fraxini was isolated only from dead Frax-
inus chinensis; more extensive specimen collection was needed to confirm its
distribution characteristics and pathogenicity.
Although Botryosphaeriales recorded many fungi on Index Fungorum
(https://www.indexfungorum.org/), only some species are now recognized.
Mainly due to the early records of many species, the lack of model specimens,
or the low quality of specimens, it is difficult to obtain strains and DNA data.
Therefore, more detailed sampling is needed to revise the classification system
of related taxa in Botryosphaeriales.
